ENGLAND’S TEMPLES
Beautiful Tribute to Past Labors
of Catholic Church.
William Winter, the Dramatic Critic,
Says He is Conscious of a Pro
found Obligation for Church’s
Preservation of the Arts.
Utica, N. Y. —A beautiful tribute is
paid by William Winter, the dramatic
critic, to the old Catholic temples of
England, many of which now lie in
ruin. “To think of the Catholic
Church," he says, “is to think of the
oldest, the most venerable and the
most powerful religious institution ex
isting among men. lam not a church
man of any kind; that, possibly, is
my misfortune; but 1 am conscious of
a profound obligation of gratitude to
that wise and august austere, yet ten
derly human ecclesiastical power,
which, self-centered amid vicissitudes
of human affairs and provident of men
of learning, imagination, and sensibil
ity throughout the world has pre
served the literature and art of all the
centuries, has made architecture the
living symbol of celestial aspiration,
and in poetry and in music has heard
and has transmitted the authentic
voice of God.
“I say that I am not a churchman;
but 1 would also say that the best
hours of my life have been hours of
meditation passed in the glorious
cethedrals, and among the sublime
ecclesiastical ruins of England.
“I have worshiped in Canterbury,
and York, in Winchester and Salis
bury in Lincoln and Durham, in Ely
and in Wells.
“I have stood in Tintern, when the
green grass and the white daisies
were waving in the summer wind, and
have looked upon the gray and rus
set walls and upon those lovely arched
casements —among the most graceful
ever devised by human art —round
which the sheeted ivy drops and
through which the winds of heaven
sing a perpetual requiem.
“I have seen the shadows of eve
ning slowly gather and softly fall over
the gaunt tower, the roofless nave, the
giant pillars and the shattered ar
cades of Fountains Abbey, in its se
quested and melancholy solitude,
where ancient Ripon dreams in the
spacious and verdant valleys of the
Skell.
“I have mused upon Netley and
Kirkstall, and Newstead, and Bolton,
and Melrose, and Dryburgh; and at a
midnight hour I have stood in the grim
and gloomy chancel of St. Columbia’s
St. Columba’s Ruins.
Cathedral, remote in the storm-swept
Hebrides, and looked upward to the
cold stars, and heard the voices of the
birds of night mingled with the des
olate moaning of the sea.
“With awe, with reverence, with
many strange and wild thoughts I
have lingered and pondered in those
haunted holy places, but one remem
brance was always present —the re
membrance that it was the Roman
Catholic church that created those
forms of beauty, and breathed into
them the breath of a divine life, and
hallowed them forever: and thus think
ing 1 have left the unspeakable pathos
of her long exile Trom the temples
that her passionate devotion prompted
and her loving labor reared.”
LOSES JOB; TAKES HIS LIFE
One Day of Idleness in Nineteen Years
Was Too Much fa’’ East
ern Man.
Boston, Mass. —One day of idleness
after 19 years of hard, steady work
was too much for William Ratzel of
Roxbury, so he committed suicide.
For nearly a score of years Ratzel,
who was a carpenter, was employed in
a wood-working factor} in East Cam
bridge.
He was discharged. He brooded
over his lot all day, and at night after
the factory closed he opened a window
of his old place of employment and
made his way inside. In the morning
when a foreman opened the shop he
found the body of Ratzel lying on a
workbench with a gas tube in his
mouth.
Stamp Sale Enormous.
Chicago.—Parcel post business ori
ginating in Chicago this month has
averaged 215 tons a day. The stamp
sale for the last ten days in the Chi
cago post office amounted to more
than $1,000,000
LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CITIES
Senoia. —B. G. W. Kempson, a high
ly respected and successful farmer,
residing near Senoia, was thrown
from his buggy and broke his neck.
He had been to the mill and was re
turning home when his mule became
frightened at a hole in a bridge
across a branch, backed the buggy
off the bridge and threw' Mr. Kemp
son out. The deceased was tiO joars
of age on January 10, and is survived
by a wife and nine children.
Macon. —From the death of Mc-
Ewen Johnston, whose will was of
fered for probate, and who left an
estate valued at approximately $750.-
000, the state of Georgia will receive
in inheritance taxes about $7,500. As
this is the largest estate which has
become subject to ri,he inheritance
tax since the law was approved by
Governor Slaton on August 19 last,
some account of the operation of the
act will be of general interest.
Cedartowu. —The record of fires for
the year 1913, as shown by the re
port of the chief of the Are depart
ment, S. W. Good, to the mayor ami
city council, reveals some interesting
facts. The department answered
twenty-four alarms during the year,
four of which were false. The prop
erty loss was the small amount of
$43.75. Probably no city of equal
size in the United States can show
such a record.
Williamson.—John Shipp, newly
elected marshal, shot and killed Wil
liam Bibb, a negro, in a desperate
pistol duel just as three passenger
trains met here. Bibb, running to
cathch a train, dropped a pistol from
his pocket. When Shipp ordered him
to give up the pistol, the negro op
ened fire on the marshal, firing two
shots before Shipp got his gun. He
then shot and killed the negro almost
instantly. A large number of people
around the depot were within range,
but escaped the bullets.
Rome. —The prospect of extending
the Rome and Northern from its
present terminals at Gore to Suhlig
na, a distance of eight miles, has met
with approval throughout the terri
tory affected. A mass meeting of the
citizens of Subligna to discuss the
matter has been called and a dele
gation of Romans will attend the.
meeting. It is hoped to raise the
sum of $15,000 as a bonus to obtain
the extension, in addition to a free
right-of-way.
Cordele. —The annual report, made
before the commissioners of Crisp
county shows that during the past
year seventy-one miles of public road
have been constructed, not including
the improvements made on the high
ways of the county from time to
time during the year. Though the
commissioners have purchased twelve
new steel bridges during the past
year, ranging in length from twelve
to forty feet, and costing several
thousands of dollars, they have re
mained within their financial means
and have a considerable sum in the
treasury to take up their work during
the ensuing year.
Atlanta.—According to a compara-
tive statement which has just been
completed by State Treasurer W. J.
Speer for his 1914 report, the state
banks found themselves in a much
more prosperous condition at the end
of 1913 than they did at the corres
ponding period in 1912. The total
resources of the 693 banks, which
are now' operating as state banks,
show' an increase of $5,693,000 over
the preceding year; cash on hand
has increased $7,098,043, and over
drafts have decreased $1,814,057.23.
Deposits have increased $15,872,849,
while bills payable show decrease
of more than $15,000,000. Capital
stock has increased $1,100,000, while
surplus and profits show an increase
of $1,042,000.
Savannah. —Alexander Ake r man.
United States district attorney for
the southern district of Georgia, has
been directed by the department of
justice in Washington to have reas
signed for trial the cases against
the members of the alleged naval
stores trust. The defendants are the
former officers of the American Xav
al Stores company that recently went
into liquidation. This determination
on the part of the department o' jus
tice has caused much surprise in
Savannah, as it was believed that the
decision of the United States su
preme court in reversing fhe decisiop
of the United States district court,
where the defendants were convict
ed, would bring the case to a conclu
sion.
Thomasville. —The beginning of
the year 1914 finds the people of both
Thomasville and Thomas county in
a decidedly more optimistic frame of
mind in regard to conditions gener
ally than was the case at this time
last year, and everything seems to
point to continued improvement for
the year along all lines. Although
the past year began tinder very fa
vorable conditions it proved, after
all. to be one of the best known here
in some time and it has left both the
county and the town in better shape
than has been the case in several
Savannah. —Edwin F. Sweat, assist
ant secretary of the department of
commerce will visit Savannah to in
spect the site that has been offered
here for headquarters of the sixth
lighthouse district, and to lo k inrO
the other advantages Savannah has
to offer. Mr. Sweat will also v
other cities in this section tnat arc

quarters.
Macon.— Practically the entir
ness section of Haddock, i:i J .vs
county, was destroyed by lire. . h
loss is estimated at $75,000. Only twe
stores remain in the town.

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES
Ruffin, N. C. —“My face became full
of pimples and blackheads, and
would itch, burn and smart. The skin
was rough and red. I w r as really
ashamed of my face. My arms and
back were affected almost as badly.
The pimples would fester and there
would come a dry scab on top. The
trouble caused my face to be disfig
ured badly and the itching would both
er me so I could not sleep well nights,
especially during warm weather.
“The trouble lasted me three long
years without anything doing me any
good until a friend told me about Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and then I
decided to try them. After the first
application I could see some improve
ment. After using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment two weeks I did not look
like the same person; most of the
pimples had disappeared. At the end
of four weeks I was completely
cured.” (Signed) Mis 3 Mamie Mitch

“And Again, My Brethren!”
A certain small girl, wearily listen
ing to a long sermon by a minister
who had the odd habit of drawing in
his breath with an odd w'histle, whis
pered to her mother that she wanted
to go home. The mother, expecting
the discourse to end, momentarily, re
fused permission. The third time this
happened the mother said, “I think he
will stop now in a minute.” To thiß
the child answered in a clear, high
voice, “No, mother, he isn't going to
stop. 1 thought so now for three
times, but he has gone and blowed
himself up again.”

After spending a few weeks last

In bis tiny bathing suit he gazed out

Then he protested:

SNOW REALLY A BLESSING
Denver Newspaper Rejoices at the Re
markable Fall of “the Beautiful"
Throughout the State.
It has been said before. Let it be
said again. The snow that you swept
from your walks, that sifted down
your collars, that got into your hair,
your eyes, your tempers, is worth a
million dollars to the agriculturists of
Colorado. To the dry farmer who
plows it. into his soil it will bring re
wards in a next year’s bank account.
Lying in the mountains it will flow
down the ditches to the irrigationists
next season. On ranch, in orchard
and truck garden it means moisture
and money. To the city it means
health that always comes from sea
sonable weather. Wade through it
with a smile on your lips, shovel it
with song in your heart, roll it into
balls and throw at your neighbor with
a laugh and a cheery word. It spells
temporary inconvenience and future
prosperity—and a white Christmas for
the public tree that brought, all Den
ver—all Colorado —into that new, bet
ter, greater, get-together bond of
friendship and work. —Denver Times.
First Chinese School Book.
There are also fragments of the Chi
Chiu-Chang vocabulary composed by a
eunich of the palace in about the year
40, A. D. All the authentic texts of
this ancient school book, widely used
in the year 2 to teach Chinese chil- i
dren to read and w rite, had long since j
disappeared. The paper manuscripts i
are the oldest examples of such litera- |
ture in existence. M. Chavannes has ;
succeeded in reconstructing from these
heterogeneous and more or less frag
mentary and disconnected materials a
fairly probable picture of the dally
life of the Chinese garrisons that held
these frontier posts against the Huns
and kept open the trade routes to
Farghana and Yarkand. The human as
w'ell as scientific interest of such a pic
ture is manifest..
At Church in Holland.
In many parts of Holland men still
wear their hats in church. Moreover,
smoking in church is not considered
irreverent by the Dutch when service
is not in progress, and, it is said, even
the ministers sometimes indulge in
this practice.
Altogether, Dutch Protestantism is,
it would seem, from a certain stand
point, a comfortable form of religion.
One may keep his hat on in church,
which saves him many a chill: he may
talk freely and in his natural voice,
not in a whisper; he has a neat, house
maid in a white cap and apron to
show' him to his pew’ or to offer him a
chair; and he has nice drab pews of
painted deal all around him and a
cheerful “two-decker" pulpit above.
GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
l Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
j ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
|or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make <it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you
wdll get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and d raw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections
of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for
health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar
to her sex should rest until she hasgiven this famous remedy
a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for
these women it will do for any sick woman ?
Wonderful Case of Mrs. Stephenson,
on the Pacific Coast.
Independence, Oregon. —“l was sick with what four doctors
called Nervous Prostration, was treated T>y them for several years,
would be better for a while then back in the old way again. I had
palpitation of the heart very bad, fainting spells, and was so nervous
that a spoon dropping to the floor would nearly kill me, could not
lift the lightest weight without making me sick; in fact was about as
sick and miserable as a person could be. I saw your medicines ad
vertised and thought I would try them,and am so thankful I did for
they helped me at once. I took about a dozen bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and also used the Sanative Wash.
Since then I have used them whenever I felt sick. Your remedies
are the only doctor I employ. You are at liberty to publish this let
ter.” —Mrs. W. Stephenson, Independence, Oregon.

llododon, Me.— “l feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to
tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for me. One
year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides
and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My
hack ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep,
then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around.
It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would he any better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good
appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam
